I’m just wondering about the appropriateness of NASA’s Administrator taking it upon himself to be an LGBT spokesperson, broadcasting those views on NASA’s behalf to the entire NASA community. I was
Continue readingThe news is good, at least for the time being, but I was rather amazed to learn that JROTC, which has been around since before WWI, all over America, is “controversial”: The San Francisco school board gave the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps yet another vote of confidence Tuesday, ensuring
Continue readingHe’s an exhibitionist, and always has been. The last thing he wants to do is take himself out of the public eye. For this guy, who’s been obsessed with showing himself off since he was a young’un, there is no such thing as bad publicity (which also explains his over-the-top

As always, competition was fierce, and the winners are deserving: Council Winners *First place with 4 votes! Joshuapundit––What

All I know is that we bounced back faced under Reagan, and

Sheriff’s Sgt. Gary Wright says the incident happened June 2 after he rode two miles by bicycle from his home to that of his
